. _ madame, will be a happy one for the Emperor, my master, if .your Imperial Highness orders me to in; form him that you participate - in the hopes, the wishes, and the sentiments of his heart.' and all over the North of Germany, the number of French Custom-house Officers and troops is doubled and tripled ; and an individual daring to bring over to the French line a single ounce of coffee, sugar, to- . bacco, or other colonial products, w ill b e p un i s h e d by severe corporal castigation, and an imprisonment of one, two, or three months, in the correction houses. The venerable Senate of Hamburg!), whose prison-honses are crowded with pretended offenders of this innocent description, has been obliged to adopt these tyrannical measures at the peremptory desire of the French Authorities; and the puorer classes, to 'Whom coffee, tea, sugar, and tobacco, are indispensable necessaries, are redbced to a state - of sullen despair at this unmerited treatment.

" - cuktomed, on every occasion, to conform my wishes, and sentiments to those of his Majesty the kmperor, my dearly beloved spouse, I concur with him in his confident expeetation of attaining the, objeca which he promises - to himself from so happy an union, and also in.thes most ardent wishes which he fortos for the future and immutable happiness of our dearly beloved daughter,. which will henoforth entirely. depend, on that of his MajegtV the Emperor and King..

I can answer for her that- her .only, . objeti will be to gratify his Meijesty the =Emperor and King, and, at the same time, to conciliate the affe6tion of the French Nation." The 'Ambassador then repaired to another apart ment., where he had a private audience of the At eh duke CHARLES, to vtrhofn he said " SlR—The Emperor, ,my master; having de manded from the Emperor, yourilluqrious brother, the hand of the Archduchess MAttrA-LoursA, has charged me to express Co your Imperial:-Highness the high- es , imatiou in which he would' hold the favour of your being pleased to accept his :procura tion for the ceremcny of the marriage.

The Ambassador then presented the Archduke . teith full powers; after which the Archduke con e ducted hint to the apartment of his Majesty, where all the Imperial .Family were assembled, to proceed 'to ,a Gland Court Gala.

FALSUM ALDEAT ? LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1810. We were.obligedyesterday to omit all the intel 7 figence which we had received in the GerManPapers to the 1 th, Dutch to the 24th, and Paris Papers to the 2 Ist. The contents of all these Papers our Readers will find. to-day in, our preceding columns. Nothing seems to occupy the Continent at present but the the marriage of BUONAPARTE with the Arthduchess MARIA LOUISA. In the several answers from the Imperial Austrian Family, we regret to see a more humiliating and flattering tone adopted by the Arch-, duke ( . 4' IARLES than by any of the others. The new restriaions .against 'the introduction of all colonial prOduce have excited the utmost distress in Hambro', where the prisons are .full of . people who have in fringad than. The Senate has been obliged to order more into confinement, and the people are sunk into a kind of sullen deSpair. A great tumult had taken place at Hanover, in consequence of a dinner given by the Intendant PATJE, to celebrate the union of that Country with Westphalia. The people were so exasperated, that.. they vented their rage on the house, and proceedecl to other acts of violence. the chief conttnts of the French Papers received .this day and yesterday. - By the article dated Anisterdam, March 'l9th, published in the supplement to the Royal Courant , it appears that Holland is to have a respite for the present, as a . treaty had been concluded at Paris on the 16th, by which the existence of that country is to be prolonged, with the exception of further sacri fi,es. When BUONAPARDR - S honey-moon is over he will probably deem. it unnecessary to destroy - Holland in detail, and at once annex it 'to the French Empire.. Last-night Dutch Papers arrived to the 26th inst. `which state that 'the Ptincess of SAxoNy, originally intended for BUONAPARTR, is to be given to the Archduke FRANCIS, and that Poland is to -be re . ereded into a Kingdom, which is to be assigned to him. The Dutch are to pay a sum equivalent to two hundred thousand pounds sterling for the temporary preservation of their independence, but Louzs-is not to to be permitted to return to them till a general peace. - Yesterday Mr. LETHBRIDGE again called the at tention of the House of Commons to the Letter published by Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. After the Pa s mphlet was read, Mr. LETHBRIDGE gave notice that he should move two ,Resolutions upon the stlb jetl; and the discussion upon them was fixed for this day. The 'Opposition- Writers, who convert every event that occurs into a ground of attack - upon Ministers, have upon this occasion, displayed their' usual eagerness for censure. Unfortunately, how ever; for them, they made their attack without any previous concert and arrangement among themselves, the consequence of which has been, that they have fallen into the most ludicrous contradictions. On the one hand, Ministers are charged with being the dupes of Sir F. BURDETT and Mr. H. TOOKE, who are represented as having laid a trap for them upon this occasion ; on the - other, they are vehemently charged with having brought forward the business for the purpose of interrupting-the discussion upon the Walcheren Expedition, and diverting the pub lic attention from that subject. Now as these/ charges are directly coutradiEtory of each other, they cannot both be true. We can, therefore, only request : of these Gentlemen to settle among-them selves which of the two. charges they mean to ad here to, and we shall then be ready to meet - them upon the subje&. - It must be a subject of serious mortification to the Opposition, to 'observe the plrfea apathy with which the Public listen to their inceisant clamours to be restored to office. Nobody expre;sesa wish to see them again . in power ; no, not even tho-e who in some points are decidedly hostile to the present Ministers. 'But if the eagerness of these Gentlemen for places had not completely blinded their understandings; they would knoW, that if there be one subject which they ought. to avoid more than another, it is the failure of Expeditions ; for upon whatever other grounds they may rest their pretensions to pnblie favour,,it certainly can not be upon their skill in planning expeditions. D o these Gentlemen suppose that the public have forgot ten the disgraceful catalogue of their Expeditions ? Do they flatter themselves with the hope that the People of England have forgotten that, within the space of one year, they undertoook three Expeditions, . every one of which failed, disgracefully failed, and in two instances with much greater lolls on our side, in proportion to the force employed, than we sustained in the Expedition to Walcheren ? Can they suppose that the People of England would wish to se e th e men who planned the Expeditions to Egypt, to the Dardanelles, and to Buenos Ayres, entrusted- with the direction of our Naval and Military power ? If they do believe these things, they flatter themselves exceedingly, and their disappointment will be se- were in proportion as their hopes have been sanguine. The Morning Chronicle of this day puts a ques: tioti—whether the Ministers had requested another County Member to make the Motion respeaing Sir F..BURDETT, and whether they had not met with a.refusal ?. • We have made every effort in our power to en able ourselves to answer this question, and from all the information we have obtained., 'and on which information we can depend, we may confidently assure the Morning Chronicle that no attempt was made to induce any individual whatever, to per form the important duty which Mr.LETHBRIDGE hap undertaken. We can further assure the Morning Chronicle, that the intention of Mr. LETHBRIDGE was wholly unknown to Ministers, and that the ho flour of resisting — the attacks of Sir F. BURDETT, upon the Privileges of the House of Common s, be longs eclusively to that Gentleman. By an ar►icle from Berlin, dated the 13th, it ap pears-that the King of .Prussia bad on the'gth issued an Edict, prohibiting all c)lonial products in his pets, and stating that it was in consequence of or ders of the same nature issued by the french Ern, peror.
